Series to watch: Victoria

I love historical tv shows/period dramas. Even if they only have tiny historical bits like "Reign" does. 
So, when I read that Jenna Coleman (one of my favourite actresses) was going to play Queen Victoria on a tv show, I knew I had to watch it.

I don't know much about British history, and these kind of shows (like "The Tudors" or even "Outlander") are great to know a bit more. But you MUST take the things they say with a pinch of salt (I believe that's the expression used in English), meaning that you DO NOT believe everything they say. There always are some liberties (Victoria and Lord M... it didn't happen that way). 

Season 1 tells the early life of Queen Victoria, from her accession to the throne when she was just 18, to her courtship and marriage to Prince Albert. Besides the main plot there are others that at first you might don't like, but that at the end of the season are probably going to let you wanting for more (they are plots created by the writers, not historical accurate).
The season it's just 8 episodes, and ended last week. So you can binge-watch it haha Though I would recommend taking it easy. Season 2 has been announced to start in 2017, so we'll have to wait a bit to know more.  

Along with the plot, the other things I've really enjoyed are the costumes, the music, and the backgrounds.
All the gowns Victoria wore are amazing. I especially loved the white/creamy ones. And the wedding dress of course. Did you know that the tradition of brides wearing white started with her?

The music, especially the theme song, is great as well. I watched this show with my sister, and everytime an episode started, we would sing along the "gloriana aleluya" xD

And the backgrounds... wow. All the palaces look incredible, though my favourites were all the outside scenes. The buildings and the gardens were lovely. One thing I didn't know though, was that Buckingham Palace has changed a lot!

So if you are interested in history (and are not too picky about the changes the writers do), like dramas, and gorgeous gowns are one of your weaknesses, you need to check out "Victoria" (she also is really cool. Little sassy queen as I call her haha).

Favourite Street Style Looks (September)

October. We are in October already. How? I did September's post what it feels like two days ago! Damn you time, relax!
September, besides being really quick, has been weird because of the weather. Over here we have had really hot days where people still went to the pool, and days where you needed a jacket and jeans because it was cold. I even saw people with coats. The looks I chose are a bit like that. Some of them are more autumnal (is that the correct word?), and others are summer looks. 
Hope you like them and get some ideas for yourself :)

Alessandra Ambrosio

Alessandra Ambrosio                                                                                Miranda Kerr
     Yes, I love off the shoulder clothes. A lot.

Chloe Moretz

Daisy Lowe                                                    Dakota Johnson
I really like Daisy's jacket. Is that weird? It is perfect for October and Halloween tho haha

Elle Fanning                                                        Taylor Swift
Elle's shoes are awful. And the bag doesn't go. But that two piece is so cute!

Gigi Hadid                                                                         Jamie Chung

Jenna Coleman                                                               Sofia Richie
Sofia's shoes... why? Why everybody wears those ugly shoes?

Louis Roe                                                                                     Anna Ewers

Maria Sharapova                                                                  Mollie King
I love Maria's look. Though I think it is something only someone as tall as her can pull off.

Olivia Culpo                                                                             Sarah Hyland
I think Olivia's look is for a work thing, not street style, but it is such a cool look!

Kendall Jenner
Loooooooooooooooooove the look with the leather jacket.

Romee Strijd & Taylor Hill                                                         Stella Maxwell
I love all three looks. But Stella's body disturbs me. She looks like a lollipop. Or a Bratz xD

WCW: Elsa Hosk

I must say I can't remember when I started liking her. It probably was after a Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, but my brain has deleted it.
Today I wanted to do a post about her because when I did my top 5 models post I didn't metion her. And she definitely is one of my favourites.
One of the things I like the most about her is how comfortable she is with her body (and how much she loves being naked haha). You can say, "yeah, I would also be comfortable with a body like hers". But there are a lot of models and celebrities out there with amazing bodies as well, and they don't give me the same feeling Elsa does. Weird? Perhaps xD
And, besides that, she has an amazing face. This past Sunday she was at the Dolce and Gabbana show and man... I always say that she has the face of a fairy, and that she could be the real version of Elsa from "Frozen". She already has the name!
This year I hope Victoria's Secret gives her the Fantasy Bra (aka the bra with the diamonds and jewels and the most important look on the whole show). Candice and Behati aren't probably gonna make it because of their pregnancies, and Lily already wore it last year, so... 

This two last photos are from last year's Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. So casual! I love them haha

Series to watch: Lucifer

Last night I was watching the first episode of season 2 and when it ended I was like umm... I should recommend this show on the blog! So here I am.

Quoting our beloved wikipedia, who knows almost everything, the series focuses on Lucifer Morningstar, "who is bored and unhappy as the Lord of Hell and resigns his throne and abandons his kingdom for the beauty of Los Angeles, where he gets his kicks helping the LAPD punish criminals". Lucifer runs a piano bar in Los Angeles called "Lux", with the assistance of his demonic ally Mazikeen or "Maze". After a minor celebrity whom Luciger once helped achieve fame is murdered ourside his club, Lucifer becomes involved with the LAPD when he takes it upon himselg to assist Detective Chloe Decker in finding the one responsible so that he can "punish them".

This show is kind of similar to "Castle", "The Mentalist"or "Elementary". You have a police detective who gets help from someone who isn't a fellow police (in this case the devil himself) to solve the crimes. On each episode they solve a different crime but, you also have a big main one that is solved at the end of the season and that kind of makes sense with things we see through the season. And we have some drama and funny bits, most of them courtesy of Lucifer. 

But why do I like it that much and recommend it? 
1. If you like the shows I mentioned before, you are probably gonna like this one. Yes, is most of the same (that's what my dad said and why he didn't like it).

2. It has a supernatural touch because of Lucifer's story line. And I personally love that (demons, angels, vampires... Anything the Winchesters can kill, I am in xD). I think it makes it different from other shows with a similar plot.

3. The one that got me totally in: Lucifer himself, aka Tom Ellis (you may know him because he was Gary on "Miranda" and the first Robin Hood on "Once Upon a Time"). He is very handsome and suits fit him as a glove.

But his voice and his accent... HIS VOICE AND HIS ACCENT. Ugh. I've watched the show both in English and Spanish, and it is not the same. It loses one of the big features of Lucifer. He is supposed to be sexy as hell (ha... ha) and to make people confess him their darkest secrets, and Tom's voice and his British accent do that perfectly. The difference is huge, seriously.

4. Season 1 only has 13 episodes, and so far from season 2 we only have one and they are on a two weeks hiatus. Most shows aren't coming until October, so you have something to watch!

Favourite Street Style Looks (August)

2016 seriously needs to chill and start going slower... How can we be on September already? :O At least it is a good month for my fangirl side. Fashion Weeks are about to start, the football is back, and most shows are around the corner!

Anyways, focusing on this post, August was a weird month. I remember checking the websites from where I took the pics and I didn't like most outfits. Then at the end of the month things changed a bit and I was able to pick a lot of looks, but they still weren't perfect. The biggest flaws are on the complements, mostly the shoes. I've discovered that I am very picky when it comes to shoes haha

And I really loved Selena Gomez's outfits in Sydney (I think my mind wants autumn).

Btw, Selena's pics kind of go into the menu on the right and it doesn't look good, I don't like it... And if I resize the pics you can't see a thing. So sorry about that :/

Selena Gomez

Selena Gomez
I hate the hem of those jeans. They ruin the outfit.

Alessandra Ambrosio

She wore this same outfit last month, but the pics weren't good. This time we've been lucky. Such a nice dress!

Emma Roberts

Gigi Hadid
I am so copying the outfit on the left!

Mollie King
I had to google her because I had no idea who she was and I really liked her outfits xD She is a member of the British girl group "The Saturdays".

Sophie Turner                                                                                       Pixie Lott
Your bag. Why. Why?                                                                                                      

Taylor Swift                                                                              Vanessa Hudgens

I am in love with the boots.                                                                                                 

Miranda Kerr                                                                         Rosie Huntington Whiteley

Mollie King                                                                                   Zoey Deutch

Awful shoes. Both of them.

Elle Fanning
And again with the shoes. The black ones are ok, but I' would like them better if they were closed on the back. And the sandals... Nop.

Pretty Little Liars S7 Midseason Finale | My thoughts (Contains spoilers)

I just finished the PLL midseason finale, and I was going to write this on tumblr, but I said... Let's do a blog post! I have a blog for something, right? xD

This midseason finale has been the same as always. They keep saying something shocking is gonna happen and then meh. Some shocking things actually happened, people might be dead and a big secret was revealed. But I ended up the episode like meh. 

I’ve known that Spencer was the one who got shot since last week because of the promo. You just had to look at the boots the person who was on the floor was wearing. They even gave us a shot were you could see them from head to toe! And I don’t think she is dead. Troian has been directing an episode from 7b, and she was still wearing her bangs. So she’ll recover.

So she’ll recover. 

Toby and his girlfriend... Umm... He’ll probably be alive as well, fans love Spoby too much. But I am not sure about his girlfriend. Also, Noel’s death... LOL. How stupid was that? I laughed so hard when it happened! xD

So, the deaths are gonna end up being deaths from not that important characters. Or not important at all, because Toby’s girlfriend... She was on the background all the time. I don’t even remember her name. We’ll miss Noel because he was cute, but still... They lied to us. Again.

Then the big revelation: Mary is Spencer’s mum! I’ve been seeing that theory on YouTube during the whole season. YouTube suggested it everytime I went to see a promo from the show. So it wasn’t a surprise. But Spencer’s family tree is becoming more complicated than Henry’s from "Once Upon a Time" xD

And the rest... Alison is pregnant. I knew it since they were all in the kitchen and she said she was sick. It wasn’t just because of Paige and Emily. Speaking of Emily... can she be more dumb? Leaving her phone? Ugh. Nicole is alive... Poor Aria. But of course she is alive! She is a freaking vampire! xD (You won’t understand that if you don’t watch "The Originals". You should. It is a great show. And the actress who plays Nicole nails it)

So now, what do we expect from season 7b, which would be the end (finally)? People being alive, couple problems... and Jenna with A.D. But I personally am looking forward to Wren. Because he is back. And I’ve missed Julian Morris on my screen. I’ve always thought that he was hiding something, and having him back for the end of the show, and having in mind that Alison’s husband had a British accent... boom!
